About the event
Winemaker-led library tasting
This is a guided library wine tasting centered on Kosta Browne, led by winemaker Julien Howsepian. The program focuses on one California producer through vineyard and appellation wines, with Julien guiding discussion of the vineyards, vintages, and winemaking decisions that shape the wines being poured.
Kosta Browne is described as founded in the Russian River Valley and as a benchmark producer of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The evening is built around that portfolio rather than a general walk-around tasting, with the winemaker presenting the wines in context.
Featured wines and regions
The tasting spans Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, Anderson Valley, and Santa Lucia Highlands. That regional range appears directly in the announced program, which frames the evening around Kosta Browne’s work across vineyard sites and appellations.
The named lineup includes One-Sixteen Russian River Valley Chardonnay, Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir, Gap’s Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, Cerise Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, and Treehouse Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir. A surprise library selection, chosen by Julien for the event, is also part of the program.
